2 cups Self raising flour
1 tsp Baking powder
25 g Butter
½ cup Cream
½ cup Water
2 tbsp Milk

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 220 degC. Sift flour and baking powder in a bowl. Grate cold butter into the flour and quickly rub with fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  2. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in cream and water. Using a knife quickly mix to a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll into a rectangle.
  3. Cut into nine pieces and place close together on a cold tray. Brush scones with milk and bake for 12 minutes until golden.
